Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] 2.0.1.03 demos

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

Okay, that's strange.  This was an old bug that _should_ be fixed now 
(was fixed by Tarn > a year ago).  I'll take a look at the code this 
evening if I get a chance.  Basically there are two possible approaches 
to the glutInit call.  The older one was the single-string version.  The 
newer one was the sys.argv version.  I'd thought all paths now used the 
list-based version, but I guess not.

Would be helpful to have the info file from OpenGL/scripts/info.py to 
figure out which version of GLUT you've got and why it's unhappy (I'm 
pretty sure we've got the wrappers right for v3.7, as that works on both 
RedHat and Win32, but I don't test with earlier GLUT versions).  Your OS 
information would also be helpful (I'm assuming you're on a Unix-type OS 
by the / characters).

BTW: dek and tom are Tkinter/Togl-based, rather than GLUT based.  You'd 
probably find that the wxPython context also works for you.  Anything 
using GLUT, however, will be hosed.

Enjoy,
Mike
